Instead of waiting 3 weeks for a service appointment, I spliced the broken wire in 10 minutes (and probably saved a hundred bucks). Thanks a bunch.

You saved me with this video! 😅 I was freaking out thinking I was going to have to spend hundreds for a trunk replacement or something, and found your video, and had the exact same problem as seen in this video, and I reconnected the broken wire and got my trunk back. Thank you for uploading this video, you’re a life saver!

This video saved me a ton of money. Thank you. But my trunk problem was a little different. It opened about 2 times out of 10 tries with the key fob. I was getting constant TRUNK AJAR alerts every time I put the transmission in drive/reverse or stepped on the brakes. My auto door locks were also activating constantly.....about 3-4 times a second. I had to pull over on a long drive home and open/close the trunk to get the short circuit to stop. I was also seeing the dome light in the trunk dim and brighten when the trunk lid moved up and down. I heard a slight buzzing from the trunk latch whenever I opened it while the ignition was on. I unwound the trunk wire harness and saw the broken black and white wire. The wrap was keeping it together enough to cause a short circuit and not a complete trunk failure. I used a butt splice connector after stripping the wiring insulation and it solved all of the issues 100%. Two other wires had some stripped insulation so I put electrical tape over them. The stripping seems to have occurred due to the too-tight zip tie from the Ford factory. I installed a new tie with a bigger loop to take tension off of the wiring harness. If a wire short circuit or wire break happens to anyone on a long drive and the auto door locks keeping firing over and over again, there are online procedures and KZitem videos that show how you can turn the feature off until you can repair the wire.

This was happening to me as well. Fixing the wire solved all issues. I has another issue about a year earlier where my trunk would open unintentionally, usually when unlocking or locking the car, opening and closing doors, or starting the car. I ignored that issue long enough and it went away, but it may have been due to the wires starting to fail.

Thanks mate! Had the same issue with the 2011 model. And, there was a short circuit between the reverse light and boot ejector cable. So, when the car was in reverse gear, the boot used to pop up randomly ( which was funny). Fixed it now. Thanks a lot!

Thanks, great video but my problem is bigger than one wire. I have a Ford Focus 2012. except one black and one green wire all of them are disconnected. I don't know which black wire goes to which one. Only the plate light and white light ( backward lights) work. The car gives error for brake bulb light and compartment door error. The trunk door can not be opened by botton or manually. not open with I checked the voltage on the wires, two of the black wire have voltage all the times. I am wonder anyone know how I can find out what those wires are? Thanks

Can you give an update? For me, I followed this tutorial many times to fix it, but it seems the problem comes came once or twice every year. It’s definitely due to a bad design, or the wire being too short. What has been your experience with this repair over the years?

I have had to fix it one more time since I made this video. I found that I had to get better wiring and splice the wiring in a way so that the new (better) wire is in the area where it repeatedly bends. Yep. Horrible design. Perhaps the only thing I don't like about my car.
